Donald Trump signalled a new diplomatic push, hinting he may visit Pakistan if a U.S.-Iran peace deal is finalised, while praising Islamabad’s role as a mediator. Even as Trump claimed Tehran has agreed to “almost everything,” Iran publicly rejected a temporary ceasefire, demanding a comprehensive end to conflict across regions from Lebanon to the Red Sea. The situation was further complicated by Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth’s claim that Iran’s leader Mojtaba Khamenei is alive but “seriously wounded.” With talks expected soon, tensions remain high as both sides draw firm red lines.
